<\/div>\n
EPISODE 508   SAND SHARK CATCHING USING BARE HANDS VOLUME 2 \u2014 JACK
<\/p>\n


<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


<\/div>\n
OUR grandson, Jack, is always interesting and his friendship with a sand shark on a North<\/div>\n
Carolina beach a week ago confirms that point.  The real story is that he and his dad happened<\/div>\n
upon an American fisherman struggling to land a sand shark.  Jack offered to help.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cCan I give you a hand?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSure.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Whereupon Jack jumped into the shallow surf and grabbed the shark by the tail startling<\/div>\n
both the fishermen and Jack\u2019s dad, Andrew Skeoch , were startled.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat the hell are you doing?\u201d  (chorus of two)<\/div>\n
\u201cCatching him.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI did not mean that\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201c\u201dGot him\u2026not slimy,,,skin is like leather\u2026easy to hold.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDrag him ashore while I take pictures but be carful\u2026he\u2019s twisting,<\/div>\n
trying to get you.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry Dad.<\/div>\n
\u2018\u201cLet\u2019s get the hook out of his mouth.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Whereupon the fisherman braced the shark and both he and Jack removed the hook.<\/div>\n
That part is shown in the video below.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cSand sharks are invisible in the water\u2026their skin is the same colour as the sand\u2026a light<\/div>\n
gray.  Swimmers may not even know a sand shark is around.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The shallows of this North Carolina beach had other marine life\u2026lots of partly grown <\/div>\n
turtles\u2026leatherbacks maybe\u2026<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There was one group missing.   People.  The outer banks of Cape Hatteras were <\/div>\n
 empty.  Lucky for the family\u2026.no danger of Covid catching them triple dosed with<\/div>\n
vaccines anyway.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Sand sharks rarely attack humans\u2026usually when they both have caught the same fish.<\/div>\n
Their mouths are not big enough \u2026of the 77 recorded attacks, only one was fatal.<\/div>\n
That fact was little comfort to Jack\u2019s mother, Julie.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
